Indian cricket team practices hard in Bangalore | The Indian cricket team was seen sweating hard
on the practice ground in Bangalore for the tri-series in Sri Lanka, featuring New Zealand from September 8-14. It was the third day of the four-day conditioning
camp on Saturday, which was held under the vigilant eyes of coach Gary Kirsten,
fielding coach Robin Singh and trainer Ramji Srinivasan. Apart from the regular
exercise sessions, the players played football, which is also a part of their
fitness regime. India has recalled Rahul Dravid to the one-day team for the first
time in almost two years to bolster their batting in Lanka and on pacy South African
pitches during the September 22-October 5 Champions Trophy. Batting maestro Sachin
Tendulkar has also returned after opting out of the one-day series in the West
Indies, which India won 2-1 last month. Ishant Sharma will spearhead the five-man
pace attack in the absence of experienced left-arm pacer Zaheer Khan, who has
been ruled out of action until the end of the year after surgery on an injured
shoulder. The selected team for Sri Lankan series includes Mahendra Singh Dhoni
(captain), Yuvraj Singh, Sachin Tendulkar, Gautam Gambhir, Rahul Dravid, Suresh
Raina, Yusuf Pathan, Harbhajan Singh, Ashish Nehra, Rudra Pratap Singh, Ishant
Sharma, Dinesh Karthik, Praveen Kumar, Amit Mishra and Abhishek Nayar.
